I'm not to sure, I use to hear it was the rails for bomb loading, that got debunked at the May show for me as I was informed that they use to arm from the other side. I'm also pretty sure I read on a plaque possibly in the LWH that they were used to help in the construction of and move exhibits into the LWH and infact I think I saw the spur inside the hall, could be wrong as I was desperate for the loo at the time.I'm sure Brian can say what they were actually used for.

It's as advertised in the Key Forum link posted by planenuttoo. A narrow gauge track used by the museum to demonstrate, using a small petrol driven engine that is in the Land Warfare Hall, how ammunition, troops etc were moved around the First World War trenches. There was a spur that ran into/out of the LWH which has been removed but you can still see the track inside. There was a big loop at the western end of the airfield but the fuel farm was plonked on top of it and the demonstrations stopped. I only ever saw this operating once many, many years ago on a weekend visit.

I have vivid memories of taking a train ride at an old Classic Fighter show and the Buchon and Lightning absolutely caning directly OTT low-level. I must've been about 4 at the time, which makes it one of my earliest aviation memories.

This is massively off topic, but you agreed to the rules when you signed up folks:

Rule 2: You must use clear and legible English at all times. Some leeway is given if English is not your first language but please remember that this is a UK website. Moderators may delete or edit posts that don't make sense because of poor spelling and/or grammar.

The vast majority have no issue with abiding by the rules - please PM me or any other staff member if you have serious concerns about the moderation of the forum (preferably with evidence).
